Mr. Manson stated that an] investigation and report on the Village water supply Manson and Mr. J.| of town since most of the other t . . . | mains extending in that direc- | | } | ! were | prompted by the Honourable M. B. Dymond, Minister of Health. | He stated further that quite an extensive report has been made and that he would be glad to, answer any questions and would recommend that Council read pages 17 and 18 which deal with recommendations for improving the water supply. He stressed the importance of the Village hiring a consultant to make a study of our water problems and to give an estimated cost in each case. The size of mains for the Vil- lage was discussed and when an 8" main for Silver Street was brought to their attention, Mr. Dick explained that an 8" main from the tank could serve as a feeder main for the north side tion are only 4" mains. It was felt that the Village water supply could be greatly improved by removing much of the iron content and the odour, however they were not prepared to give any estimate as to the cot but felt that immediate steps should be taken to have a further report made by an engineer who could make a study, of the supply and distri- bution system. It was also reported that al- though the well was designed to pump 200 gallons per minute that after acidization it would then only produce 150 gallons per minute so it was recom- mended that Well #2 be acid- ized again this year to try and obtain a greater volume of water, the estimated cost being $100.00, It is thought that there is plenty of water but the difficulty is for the water to get through the screen to be pumped up. Local Teams Miss Trophies The Lions' Bantams travelled to Preston on the Dominion Day holiday to take part in the an- nual Bantam softball tourna- ment. Sixteen teams from all over Ontario took part. The Port team had four games, with the following results: Game One: In this game the boys were very tense and tried too hard. Nevertheless, they battled a fairly strong Grimsby squad down to the wire before being edged out 4-3. Game Two: In the first round of the Consolation series Port met our neighbour to the north, Seagrave. Port played one of its better games of the season, humbling the Angels 12-2, Game Three: In this game Port's hitters really found the range, bombing Burlington's pitching for 17 hits. Final score was Port 14, Burlington 1. Game Four: This was the Consolation final. Here Port Perry had to meet a very strong crew from Willowdale, and, although they never. quit, sue: .cumbed by a score of 13-7. This was a day from which our lads gained a lot of valu- able experience. The team and its followers also had a lot of fun; the boys behaving in an excellent fashion, reflecting "credit on the town. % * * At North York Midget Tour- nament, Scugog Cleaners lost the Trophy by the score of 8-7 to Abington. They had lost to Tavistock 7-1, Beaten Pickering 12-6 and Aldershot 6-1. These clubs made a fine show- ing and once again the name of Port Perry was carried well, Sat.

Sugar and Spice | By BILL SMILEY | THAT WAS SOME HOLIDAY I feel sorry for my kids, because the Twelfth of July, for them, is merely the day their mother says, "Oh, dear, this is your aunt's birthday and I forgot to send a card." A whole generation of Canadians has arisen to whom the mighty Twelfth is just another day to go water-skiing, or enjoy a barbecue. The poor younsters. They don't know what they've missed. What a grand and glorious day the Twelfth 'was, when I was a bay, compared to the feeble, orderly skeleton it is today! About, the middle of June, the lodge rooms of the Orange- men and the Young Britons began to throb and shrill and squeal as the fife and drum units tuned up for the big day. When the Twelfth arrived, it was always the 'absolutely hottest, brightest day of the whole summer. Beginning about 10 a.m., the first isolated lodges would begin to arrive in town, and shabby and ashamed was the lodge that could not produce at least one drum and one fife. They were hard, lean, bronzed men; those from: the farm- ing and hill communities around the town. There was a lurk- ing hint of violence behind the great good humor of their up- roarious greetings. 'When the hotels opened, the streets were suddenly denuded of 'the hundreds of white-shirted, blue-trousered, straw-hatted men, and everywhere perspiring women produced lunches and sat in the shade with their broods, looking anxious. About 1:30, the grand parade would get under way, after a great deal of rearing and backing and shouting among the various mounted lodge masters, on their old white plow-horses, - decked out like chargers. And the whole town would be out to see them, Protestants and R.C.'s and Jews and Holy Rollers alike. Down the blazing street they'd come, a mile and a half of solid Orangemen, sweat- ing out the beer in the strange, dignified "walk", to the wild squeal of the fifes and the rattle and blam and thud of the drums. And there'd be a cheer as one elated Irisiman broke ranks and did a rumpety step-dance and slipped back into his place in line. And a round of clapping for a ladies' lodge, trim and dainty in their white dresses and fancy hats. Then to the park for the speeches. = Ah, what grand. un- enlightened, intolerant speeches we had in those days, when everyone was bigoted and prejudiced and didn't even know it. It was there that I first learned of the perfidy of the "roamin' catholics," whoever they were, and the danger of the pope, whatever that was, and the bravery and goodness of King Billy, whoever he was, and it was there that I first learned that somebody had got licked at the Battle of the Boyne, wherever that was. There is something as pitiful and gallant and stirring and faded about the Twelfth, nowadays, as there is about Anzac Day or Armistice Day. Fellow-Uulstermen! Let's stop hating James II (or is it William of Orange?). I'll love my wife and anybody else's wife who shows up on the Twelfth? How about you? ~--Toronto Telegram News Service TT. --
